Ø考试出题方向分析
词汇题部分不分专业类别,同级别的职称英语词汇题部分试题相同。词汇选项倾向于对名词,动词,形容词和副词这四种词类的考察,考试中有时也会涉及到介词短语。对跨词类词和词义宽的词的考察也是近年来的出题方向;而通常在词汇题的15道题中会有3-5个题是直接或间接出自当年的职称英语书上的词汇题部分。
Ø例题解析:
词汇选择(第1-15题,每题1分,共15分)
下面共有15句子,每个句子均有一个词或短语划有底横线,请从每个句子后面所给的四个选项中选择一个与划线部分意义最相近的词或短语。答案一律涂在答题卡相应的位置上。
1.A new system of quality control was brought in to overcome the defects in the firm’s products.
A) invested B) introduced C) installed D) insisted
答案及解析:B. 解题思路:借助画线短语核心词(bring)的基本含义—“带来/引起”,并借助与画线结构相直接相关的结构含义(质量控制系统被。。)判断B是答案。
Invest: vt.(常与in连用)投入(资金,精力,时间等)
e.g. Ive invested a lot of time and effort in this plan. (喻)
我已在这计划中投入了大量的时间和精力
insist: vi, vt(常与on, that连用)主张;坚持, 坚持要求(宾语从句跟虚拟语气结构)
e.g. We insist on / upon self-reliance.
我们坚持自力更生。
e.g. We all insist that we not rest until we finish the work.
大家都坚决要求不完工就不休息
2. Have you talked to her lately?
A)lastly B) shortly
C)recently D)immediately
答案及解析: C。解题思路:抓住句子中与划线部分相关的结构或用词特点。根据句子所在时态判断,C最合适。而lastly 是“最后,终于”; shortly是“立刻,不久”; immediately是“立即”。
immediately adv., conj.立即; 即刻
e.g. I came immediately I heard the news.我一听到这个消息,马上就来了。
Synonyms: at once, directly, promptly, quickly
3. The old concerns lose importance and some of them vanish altogether.
A) develop B) disappear
C) link D) renew
答案及解析:B。解题思路:借助句意。and的使用表明前后两个分句是在句意上承接的,这样排除A和D(renew = re + new(re表示“再次”),所以可推出renew是“更新”)。 借助句意判断disappear(消失)是答案。
link vt, vi(常与together, to, with连用)连接
e.g. The two towns are linked by a railway. 这两个城镇由一条铁路连接起来。
4. There is always excitement at the Olympic Games when an athlete breaks a previous record of performance.
A) beats B)matches
